Are Brazilian catchments gaining or losing water? The effective area of tropical catchments
(2022-03-01)
Similar to most countries, the Brazilian water resources management considers topographically delineated catchment as a territorial unit for policy implementation. Yet, previous studies have shown that catchments are not ...
The role of vegetation, soils, and precipitation on water storage and hydrological services in Andean Páramo catchments
(2019)
Understanding how tropical montane catchments store and release water, and the resulting water ecosystem services they provide is crucial for improving water resource management. But while research in high–elevation tropical ...
Bayesian estimates of the mean recharge elevations of water sources in the Central America region using stable water
(Elsevier, 2020)
Study region: Central America. Study focus: Knowledge of the mean recharge elevation (MRE) of water resources is important where water resources are vulnerable. The purpose of this study was to develop and apply a Bayesian ...
Factors controlling the temporal variability of streamflow transit times in tropical alpine catchments
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-06-17)
The mean transit time (MTT) of water is an essential descriptor of streamflow generation
and catchment water storage. Research on how MTTs fluctuate over time and the
variables influencing such variation is limited. In ...
Weathering assessment in the Achala Batholith of the Sierra de Comechingones, Córdoba, Central Argentina. II: Major hydrochemical characteristics and carbon dynamics
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2016-01)
La Trucha is a granitic, second-order catchment (~1.9 km2, average slope 5%) placed at ~1400 m elevation in the Sierra de Comechingones (Argentina, 31°54´S, 64°45´W; 31°53´, 64°44´W). The main geochemical characteristics ...
Factors controlling sediment yield in a major South American drainage basin: the Magdalena River, Colombia
(Elsevier, 2005-05-04)
The Magdalena River, a major fluvial system draining most of the Colombian Andes, has the highest sediment yield of any medium- sized or large river in South America. We examined sediment yield and its response to control ...
Insights into the water mean transit time in a high-elevation tropical ecosystem
(COPERNICUS GMBH, 2018)
Insights into the water mean transit time in a high-elevation tropical ecosystem
(COPERNICUS GMBH, 2016-07-26)
This study focuses on the investigation of the mean transit time (MTT) of water and its spatial variability in a tropical high-elevation ecosystem (wet Andean páramo). The study site is the Zhurucay River Ecohydrological ...
Headwaters drive streamflow and lowland tracer export in a large‐scale humid tropical catchment
(2020)
Headwaters are generally assumed to contribute the majority of water to downstream users, but how much water, of what quality and where it is generated are rarely known in the humid tropics. Here, using monthly monitoring ...
Spatial Distribution and Scaling Properties of Lidar‐Derived Snow Depth in the Extratropical Andes
(American Geophysical Union, 2020)
We characterize elevational gradients, probability distributions, and scaling patterns of lidar-derived snow depth at the hillslope scale along the extratropical Andes. Specifically, we analyze snow depth maps acquired ...
